Description
At last I can spill the beans! I'm the artist on the new Gears of War comic from DC's Wildstorm imprint, launching in October before the new game. My story bridges the two.Very exciting!
This was the piece that landed me the gig.

Note: This was posted in 2008. I've now finished 11 issues, collected in two volumes, and have since finished drawing the title. Thanks for all the kind words!

Oh man, you are doing the gears of war comic! That is freaking awesome man! I tried to get some work on the comic when it was with the other publisher, and i was maybe going to do some pinups or even a cover, but then that particular publisher i guess isn't doing it anymore. But i am happy to see you take it over man, great stuff.
I look forward to it. please tell me you played the game!?

Now I feel bad! No idea what happened with the other guys, everybody is being very grown-up about it I guess.
The game's AMAZING - but I'm bloody useless... LOL!
Take care man.

Cheers mate.
Yup, there are LOTS of times it just seems impossible, but you have to find a way through, and make stuff up. Mostly I make stuff up these days...
Take care,
Liam.

So if you want in a near future maybe I can request an interview to you. Many Latinamerican illustrators are very interested in our propose, but we are looking also contact with some artist from Europe and Northamerica.
The magazine name is Pin Up and the first issue is schedule to be on sale on August 16th; right know we are working in the 4th issue.
Let me know if you are interested

Yeah, no idea why it is, but it seems like people generally prefer my work in black and white.
Hm. What the hell do I do about that? LOL!

RalphNiese In reply to LiamRSharp [2008-07-24 17:47:12 +0000 UTC]
dunno. maybe teach the colorist to get suitable to your drawings.
somehow the flat colors of the nineties were working better than the
typical coloring of now - it all looks the same...
